I have tried using dvd flick and convertx to dvd amongst other software to burn my downloaded films to disk but the quality always looks shocking, like a cheaply made film, they are also jumpy, and i'm talking about good films that were out years ago such as 'signs' and 'leon' what am i doing wrong? I am using a hp pavillion dv6 laptop with windows 7, someone please help I've wasted so many disks, tried so many programs and they always turn out the same...

If the downloads are highly compressed AVI files originally from a DVD, then converting them back to DVD is one more quality hit.

When the downloaded files are converted to DVD format (sitting in a folder on the HDD)and played back on the PC, are they low quality?

Thank you for the reply attar, just tried playing back a converted dvd and it's still slightly jumpy on the pc but much better quality, so is there no way around this?

- not the DVD disk - the files that were output to the HDD folder after conversion and before burning.

You might try converting with FAVC instead of DVD Flick - it uses a different encoder.

yeah it was the files that were output to the HDD folder that I tried, I'll see how I get on with FAVC.

Does favc work with windows 7 as i can't seem to be able to download? Note I'm ok with computers but not the best :)
